Whether any gold deposit bonds were issued against in this gold deposit schem?? if yes, then this bonds are not considered as capital assets u/s 2(14) hence no capital assets and no capital gain.

If the gold is deposited under Gold Deposit Scheme 1999 interest is exempted from Income tax. Like wise there is no capital gains tax on the maturity of the scheme. More over the amount is also exempted from the levy of wealth tax
